Description

T-bet, also known as TBX21, is a T-cell specific transcription factor containing a single T-box DNA-binding domain. It controls the expression of the TH1 cytokine, interferon-gamma. Both Th1 and Th17 cells are crucial in immune regulation and autoimmune disease development. T-bet initiates Th1 lineage development from naive Th precursor cells and directs T cell differentiation to Th1 versus Th17. T-bet is cooperating with Stat4 (signal tranducer and activator of transcription 4) in programming chromatin architecture for Th1 gene expression. Genetic variations in T-bet are associated with susceptibility to aspirin-induced asthma and nasal polyps.

It is recommended to use the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (cat. 00-5523) and protocol. Refer to Best Protocols for Staining Protocol (Protocol B: One step protocol for intracellular (nuclear) proteins) eFluor® 660 is a replacement for Alexa Fluor® 647. eFluor® 660 emits at 659 nm and is excited with the red laser (633 nm). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochome. Excitation: 633-647 nm; Emission: 668 nm; Laser: Red Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
